Chapter 502 Growing Vegetables in VR Mode
After opening the newspaper, Zou Zhuo was surprised to find that this was actually a gameplay description.
“Can you harvest after planting crops on the ground?”
"After harvesting, can you sell the crops for money?"
"You can also buy various props, including fertilizer seed decoration, etc."
The farm's gameplay is not complicated, and it is enough to write it in one newspaper. Chen Mo deliberately introduced the corresponding gameplay to the newspaper in order to be more in line with the environment and prevent players from feeling out of the play.
Of course, players can still perform related operations in the game without reading this newspaper, but that requires some exploration.
According to the instructions in the newspaper, Zou Zhuo first came to the thatched hut to get some seeds, and then came to the back of the thatched hut to get a few agricultural tools.
Farm tools are very simple, only hoes, shovels, kettles and watering cans. According to the game instructions, hoes are used to weed, shovels are used to remove withered crops, kettles are used to water, and watering cans are used to spray medicine.
As for planting and picking fruits, you can just use your hands, and you don’t need to use farm tools.
Zou Zhuo came to the farmland with seeds and farm tools.
At this time, four pieces of land in the farmland had been cultivated, while the others were not cultivated. Zou Zhuo scattered the seeds into these four pieces of land, and small pits appeared on the ground to indicate that the seeds had been planted.
This is done.
Zou Zhuo was a little surprised because this operation was too simple. He just came to the farmland and sowed the seeds, without digging or watering.
However, he thought again and thought that this is also very reasonable. After all, this is a soothing mode, which is to relax players, and it is definitely necessary to simplify the relevant operations as much as possible.
It’s just sowing seeds and harvesting vegetables. This kind of operation actually basically negligible mental pressure on players.
After sowing the seeds, Zou Zhuo turned around next to the thatched hut.
There is a small warehouse next to the thatched hut, which is obviously the place to store crops. However, the game guide in the newspaper says that there will be shops and some other buildings here, but it seems that they have not been unlocked yet.
Zou Zhuo returned to the rocking chair and lay down, picked a more soothing music, closing his eyes to rest.
It’s true that in this atmosphere, there is a feeling of returning to the countryside. The sun is warm and bright, and it won’t feel dazzling at all under the umbrella.
Under the breeze and in the soothing melody, Zou Zhuo felt as if he was in a real farm, as if the turf could be reached with his hand, and he could even smell the green grassland.
Of course, some of this is illusion. Chen Mo has created such a farm image, so when players are relaxed, they will naturally make up for other elements that they actually do not have.
After sniffing for a while, Zou Zhuo opened his eyes and suddenly found that the crops on the land had sprouted.
"Hmm? So fast."
Zou Zhuo was a little surprised that the crop actually grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But he quickly figured it out. After all, this is a game. If it is really the same as the real world, the crops will mature in half a year, that's a big deal.
Zou Zhuo roughly estimated that these seeds could be ripe and picked in a few hours. But he didn't know how many hours it was, and he couldn't judge it just based on the current growth status of the tender buds.
At this moment, weeds grew on one piece of land, while the other piece of land became dry and the surface was cracked, which was significantly different from other plots.
"Yeah, I'm here to live!"
Zou Zhuo stood up and picked up a kettle and hoe from the side. He first watered the dried land, and then removed the weeds from another piece of land.
This operation is still very simple, but Zou Zhuo felt as if he was really weeding the farmland, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Looking at the growing crop buds, Zou Zhuo suddenly felt inexplicably satisfied. He really hoped that these crops would mature soon, and he couldn't wait for the moment of harvest.
At this moment, a line of small words appeared in the inconspicuous place in your vision: Congratulations on completing the first weeding, and the system will give you four bags of fertilizer.
"Hmm? And fertilizer?"
Zou Zhuo came to the thatched hut and found four bags of fertilizer appeared under the shed behind the thatched hut.
The bag of fertilizer is very small, just like a bag of salt. Zou Zhuo held the fertilizer in his hand and looked at the name written on it.
Two bags of black fertilizer and two bags of ash fertilizer.
Seeing the name of the fertilizer, Zou Zhuo suddenly had a bad premonition.
But he didn't think too much, and took the four bags of fertilizer to the next to the farmland.
The newspaper writes about how to use fertilizers, just sprinkle the fertilizer on the land.
These two bags of fertilizer have different effects on different crops. For some relatively low-grade crops, it can shorten the time for a longer time. As for some advanced crops, the shortened growth time is relatively less.
At that time, relatively high-grade fertilizers must be used.
Zou Zhuo is now planting basic crops, carrots and white radish. Ash fertilizer can reduce the growth time of these crops for three hours, while black fertilizer can reduce the growth time of these crops for six hours.
Zou Zhuo directly scattered four bags of fertilizer on four pieces of land. The crops that sprinkled with ash fertilizer entered a state of maturity, but could not be picked yet. The crops that sprinkled with black fertilizer entered a state of maturity, and huge white radish and carrots were almost emerging from the ground.
"Well...so is the maturity time between 3 and 6 hours?"
Zou Zhuo roughly inferred that carrots and white radish are both primary crops, and their maturity time should be the same. The only difference is that carrot seeds are expensive and sold, while white radish is cheaper.
"So... the ripening time of these two types of radish should be greater than three hours, less than six hours."
Zou Zhuo came to the two mature carrot lands, squatted down and pulled out the carrots.
There are many carrots in each piece of land, and they are planted neatly. Zou Zhuo pulled it quickly and it was finished in a short while.
There was some soil on the carrots, which seemed to be very realistic. However, after Zou Zhuo threw them into the warehouse, the mud on the carrots automatically disappeared and were piled neatly.
Zou Zhuo shoveled off the crop remains on two pieces of land and planted new crops.
At this time, there is another line of very inconspicuous system prompt: You have detected that you have harvested the crops, have you gone to the store for sale?
"In other words, it can be sold for money, right? Sell it decisively." Zou Zhuo did not hesitate at all.
A brand new building was instantly built on the open space next to it. It looked like a simple convenience store, and the architectural style matched the scene.
There is no np inside, it is all automated. Zou Zhuo put this pile of mature carrots into the store and automatically changed it to system currency.
Next to the store is a very simple Atm machine, which shows the amount of currency Zou Zhuo currently owns, and you can also view some transaction records on it.
You can also check the prices of different props in the store. Of course, most props are currently unable to afford them.
However, what surprised Zou Zhuo was that the interface of game coins for real items was actually opened on this Atm machine.
Zou Zhuo was shocked. Most games only recharge, which means using real currency to exchange game coins. I have never heard of using game coins to exchange real items.
There are some prizes with relatively low value, such as recharge cards, and some prizes with relatively high value, even computers and VR game cabins. Of course, these high value things are exchanged for game coins at sky-high prices, and Zou Zhuo dared not even think about it.
However, it is already very shocking to exchange game coins for physical objects.
